From parking area P10 La Forcola take path N111 towards Val Orse'ra, making sure to turn left onto path N112 which climbs the side of the Forcola Valley: it is quite steep and rocky. You reach the small lake of Lach dal Vach and, on the opposite side, are the Fo'rcola lakes. From here, the top does not seem far, although it is still a good walk. On reaching the viewpoint near the top, the temptation is to push on, which requires a certain degree of caution and some experience given the altitude of 3,050 m above sea level. From here, your efforts are rewarded with wonderful views over the Livigno Valley and the Bernina group.
